Melbourne Marathon is fast approaching, and we’re calling on our amazing community to help make race day a success by volunteering at our drink station.
Drink station volunteers play a vital role in supporting thousands of runners as they take on this iconic event. By handing out water and offering encouragement along the course, you’ll be helping participants stay safe, hydrated, and motivated as they push toward the finish line.
You'll be positioned at one of the most vital points on the course, keeping runners hydrated, motivated, and smiling as they power through. This is a role full of fast hands, big cheers, and high impact—perfect for anyone who loves being part of the action and helping others succeed!
Volunteering is a great way to support Beyond Blue, connect with others and feel a sense of pride and purpose.
Ready to be the boost every runner needs? As a Drink Station Volunteer, you’re not just handing out cups—you’re delivering energy, encouragement, and the push that gets runners to the finish line!
We are looking for 30 volunteers to help run a Drink Station at the Brighton Baths.
By volunteering, you will also be raising funds for Beyond Blue, as a donation is made to Beyond Blue for each volunteer on course by the event organisers!
